I’m aware of how it can affect our consumerism. To some extent.
But it’s another demonstration that we love to focus on one problem while ignoring others. There is lots of bad conflict around the world. Last month, people were all upset about China having the Olympics because ….Moslem Uyghers. The discriminations and abuse goes on, but now it’s not the big story.
Same all through recent history. Seem to focus on some conflict, which libs universally dub “crucial” that we get involved. Then whine when Americans are lost. Bosnia-Serbs. Etc.
Right now, much of the world is worried about people being murdered and a country destroyed by a fascist pig who runs a superpower - and one who has threatened to use nuclear weapons to get his way.
I suggest you get your priorities in order.
